Father’s Day Follow-up

Monday, June 18, 2007   

Father’s 2007 Day was a lot of fun! The fish cooperated!

A total of 56 fish were caught in the one hour of the Toe Fishing Contest. The McMurtrey family caught the most with 8 fish. Dwayne, the father caught none but his family, wife Donelle and sons Sam and Luke were the catchers. The last we saw of them they were having a great time spending the $150 gift certificate on Orr Family Farm!

The Pedal Pull Contest was a blast with several winners — in fact six received trophies and winning their age group makes them eligible for the State Championship to be held the Saturday after Labor Day at the Cleveland County Fair. Registration begins at 9 am.

The Qualifiers were:
Lily Dremel - age 4   Pulled it 67”
Mackencie Porter - age 6   Pulled it 112”
Owen Dremel - age 6   Pulled it 173”
Sam McMurtrey - age 6  Pulled it 127"
Harrison Dowell - age 8   Pulled it 251”
Hannah Dowell - age 11   Pulled it 312”!

The Cow Milking Contest had a handicap — ”Bessie”, our fiberglass cow only had three ’spigots’ working on her udder. So we gave three $25 gift certificates to the three top families — the Dowells, the Timms and the LaVeans.

All had a great time and promised to be back next year
